time without wearing down your crews or the troops that you've embarked many navies of. i think it's a ship very well built for that part of the job, staying at sea a long time. 2011 was a very strong year. we've been deployed from mid february to mid september, first on the mission in indian ocean which was to train for amphibious missions overseas with troops embarked on board. on the way back we were told to divert to the libyan coast to participate in the combats there. so we had 69 army helicopters on board, we were off the coast of libya and doing s-strikes with helicopters from the ship. and that was a brand new mission for us, very demanding, but very strong. we learned a lot from that mission. this ship was built for three main types of missions, the first it's an amphibious ship and ready to put military personnel on land by way of air. it has a huge flight deck and we can service 16 helicopters on board to bring the troops ashore by way of helicopters and the other ways by sea with the aircraft. that's the first mission, the amphibious mission putting troops a

that was a fantastic piece of work by the navy. it turned around the attitudes of niche a toward the united states. it was a the kind of building block we look for in an economic and security commons. just as when we in san francisco see not only what the military can bring to the party and help us with, not only how we can interact with the military, but also we say to ourselves, it's also up to us to do everything we can for ourselves. we're not kind of an outfit, it's easier for them to collaborate with us. so, all of these things are important to us as we have these exercises. so, i say this is a very worthwhile enterprise that will keep going. i tip my hat to my friend mike who really has been leading us in these efforts. and now i say as also the slogan, i guess you call it this morning, maybe it's what the navy says. i think it's a very good phrase. a global force for good. that's what we've been practicing, a global force for good. thank you.

initially that was the navy's plan. they had tugs standing by in hampton roads, several which were assigned to go after it, that of course never happened. right after march 8, the federal government chartered two fast steamers, and sent them from new york to hampton roads to again fling themselves on the merrimac when she appeared next. the only problem was the crews when they found out what they thought their suicide mission was going to be, absolutely refused and mutinied. and admiral goldsborough basically wrote in disgust saying that these people are refusing to do the job that they were hired to do. and it all -- came to nothing. stanton is concerned, the navy is just not going to take care of this problem. so the army, the war department needs to get involved. and he contacts, cornelius vanderbilt the shipping magnate and says, we understand you have an extretremtremely fast boat, vanderbilt" how much would you charge to use that ship to sink the merrimac. vanderbilt graciously says, i won't charge you anything. i
